A Long-Term, Multicenter, Open-Label, Safety Study With a Flexible Dose Range of KW-6002 as Treatment for Parkinson's Disease in Patients With Motor Response Complications on Levodopa/Carbidopa Therapy

The primary objective of this study was to establish the long-term tolerability and safety
of istradefylline treatment in subjects with Parkinson's disease treated with
levodopa/carbidopa. In addition, treatment response and maintenance of response were
assessed.


Inclusion Criteria:

Eligible subjects were:

- male or female

- at least 30 years of age

- had completed participation in a prior double-blind istradefylline trial

- met United Kingdom's Parkinson's Disease Society (UKPDS) brain bank criteria (Step 1
and Step 2) for Parkinson's disease and the severity of the Parkinson's disease was
defined as Stages 2-4 on the Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale while in the OFF state

- had been treated with levodopa for at least 1 year

- had been on a stable Parkinson's disease regimen within normal therapeutic ranges
including levodopa for at least 4 weeks before Baseline

- were currently taking at least 4 doses of levodopa per day (3 doses per day if at
